April Fool's on us

After reading Robert Watson's column on military spending on April 1, I thought maybe this is an April Fool's joke. How can giving a $35 billion contract to a European company rather than Boeing help our economy? Tell me this is a joke. I feel disgusted.

Tell me that our president's helicopter, Marine One, was not outsourced to a British-Italian conglomerate. Say it isn't so.

Politics as usual? Where is the sense in this? Tent cities are springing up in California. Lives here are being decimated by our "leader."
